Powertrain Component Test Systems

For decades, RedViking has designed, built and implemented highly engineered powertrain test systems for some of the largest land vehicle, defense and aerospace companies in the world. All of our systems are designed to provide the highest level of dynamic testing capability at a competitive price.

Tests and simulations can be run 24/7 with machine self-monitoring for performance and maintenance

Designed and built in the U.S. with global support

Modular Hardware, Software and Controls

Future powertrain products are simpler to incorporate because of the flexibility of our testing equipment and software. We design and build easily configurable fixtures, automation and gearboxes so that a model change doesn’t have to mean an entirely new system. One of the cornerstones of RedViking design is to ensure flexibility for the future without adding anything you don’t need today.

Highly Engineered Dynos

We don’t build off-the-shelf engine or powertrain dynos. Our customers require highly engineered solutions for multiple vehicle variants, high speed-high torque and R&D testing. Here are photos of a hypoid gear test rig that we designed and built for an R&D implementation and a military vehicle dyno we integrated for an end-of-line test.

Powered by Vsync™

Vsync is the modular test executive and controls platform sensitive and capable enough to help you see a gear microfracture well before it causes failure. The Vsync interface is so user friendly that once your operators have been trained on one of the powertrain test systems, it will be easy for them to move over to any other. Vsync is architected with a base platform and add-on modules, so that you can buy only what you need today. Learn more here.

Continuous Operation

Because our roots are in the 24/7 world of automotive manufacturing, we’ve designed and built for continuous operation and self-monitoring from our start. Whether you need a moderate speed and torque testing system at the end of your production line or an extremely high speed-high torque system for a lab environment, you can be confident that your RedViking powertrain test bench will be rugged and reliable.

Designed and Built in the U.S.A. with Global Support

We’re committed to advancing the art of U.S. engineering, and 100% of our systems are designed and built in Michigan or North Carolina. And because our test stands are installed worldwide, we support them wherever they’re located. RedViking is currently supporting systems in the U.S., China, Western Europe and the Middle East. To minimize your expense, our systems are designed for simple maintenance and remote support. But if it’s necessary, we’ll be on a plane to your location as quickly as possible.
